In 2023, Ferguson opened up about his time growing up as a Rangers fan.
Speaking to the club's official website, he said: "There was a family who lived above us, and there was about 14 of them. They always used to congregate on a Saturday and when I heard them coming down the stairs that was time to go to the match. They timed it to perfection.
"I used to always go to the Broomloan Road end when I was younger. It wasn’t until I got into my teens when I was with my mates that we would go into the Rangers End. I started going to Ibrox when I was around eight-years-old so in 1949. When I was young, it was a case of ‘you’re not going up there on your own’, but you would go to Ibrox irrespective of what your dad said.
"There were great teams around that time. The famous Iron Curtain team; Young, Shaw, McColl, Woodburn, Cox, which felt like it was there forever. You always had Willie Waddell and Willie Thornton playing as well. I grew up in a period where we had strong domination of the country.
"Me and my pals always liked Willie Woodburn because he could play. It was unfortunate what happened to him when he got sine die. I was at the game against Hibs when he got sent off for the indiscretion.
"I always remember we were up in Bellahouston Park when he was suspended sine die, and I’m not sure if he lived in that area or he was visiting Scot Symon, and we got his autograph off him and wished him the best to get back playing.
"However, my all-time hero was Jimmy Millar. I loved Jimmy Millar. It was a great partnership with Ralph Brand. If he got the ball under control, which he did time and again, Ralph would start running. He was quick and would run beyond defenders. It’s great to have forwards with penetration, but Jimmy led the line."
